Feeling Abnormal

KT67

Hi. I have just joined and this is my first post.

I just wanted to get something off my chest. I feel strange - like my perception of time is messed up.

I know everyone's is different and I have had a lot of stress and trauma over the past five years which affects it and have lost time due to it.

I just want to be how I used to be, to feel normal again, and the world to be normal again.

Thanks for listening

  • I realise I've sort of been in survival mode for so long I've allowed more than 2 decades drift past a week at a time.

    In order to notice time you also have to do things. Isolating and just doing the same thing every day means all the days merge together and you do not notice the passage of time.

    The solution for me looks to been reducing stress, having therapy to address some of the underlying issues, finding I have ASD and trying to accept this, getting out of the house more, and now going forward understanding myself, finding ways to manage my energy and have more therapy.

    I feel more awake, but I was close to burnout.

    You probably want to reduce your stress, be kind to yourself and have something to look forward to. Good luck.
